Teacher injured in student fight

STOCKTON - A Stagg High School teacher sustained a laceration above his right eye from a student Tuesday afternoon, officials reported.

The man was trying to break up a fight in the school's library between two girls when one of the teens turned her aggression toward him, according to the Stockton Unified School District Police Department.

The girl was booked into juvenile hall on suspicion of battery. Her name is not being released because she is a minor. The teacher was taken to a hospital as a precaution, said Jim West, chief of the Stockton Unified School District Police Department.

The cause of the fight is unknown, and no weapons were used, police said.
